Abstract
During the past several years Total Quality Management (TQM) has become a driving force in the service and manufacturing industries. TQM and Total Quality Control (TQC) are very applicable to the software development industry and thereby, applicable to software engineering instruction. This article focus on the need for integration of TQM concepts into the regular computer curriculum of the computer science and software engineering program.
